Fishes around here didn't know their Maths!

Before the pearls could threaten to enter Hana's opened mouth, Shiro swiped Hana's hand and throw the shell on the cave floor. What could he do if the pearls choked Mom to her death? That'll be really tragic!

Within a minute, around the two-meter radius of the cave floor was flooded with pingpong-sized pearls with a beautiful greenish glow. Hana guesstimated that there were more than a thousand pearls over here! How much did the girl eat until she needed to pay this much?

"Isn't this too many? Ara has cleared her debt to me before. She only needs to pay two crystals to me. Hence, the amount of pearls is actually two crystal worth." Hana took her smartphone and calculated. "She only needed to pay me with 360 pearls."

Hana had recorded the trade terms she discussed with Ara on her smartphone. All the fishes the little girl ate had been paid with freshwater prawns, even with some extras at the side. She had stayed over for two days, hence, according to the agreement, she only needed to pay two crystals. Previously, they had agreed on six prawns per batch of fish, with one prawn equaled to ten pearls. Hence one batch of fish was equaled to sixty pearls. Three batch of fishes was equaled to one crystal or 180 pearls. So two crystals were equaled to 360 pearls. Unless Ara had eaten some more fishes during Hana's 'treatment session' without her knowledge. Or was the fishes around here had problems with simple maths?

Little Chomper was a little surprised by the master's calculative nature. He cleared his throat and tried to speak well for his own mistress, "Your Grace, this is not the payment. This is a gift from the Young Miss, as a token of remembrance. She had missed you too much, and could only think of the things that you loved most. Hence, she had taken out all these beautiful Azure Spirit Pearls for your sake. She want me to let you know, she is thinking about you all the time and hoped that you'll come over for a visit if she took too long to consolidate her core." Looking at Hana's touching expression, he was secretly feeling satisfied inside.

As the 'rain' of pearls slowly subsided, the tiny white shell spurted out dark greenish mud-like balls. Hana yelped from being so surprised! It looked like it was raining mini cow dung this time! With a flexibility that she didn't know she had, she reflexively dodged a few times so that the disgusting-looking greenish 'dungs' were not pelted on her now-beautiful flawless skin. The level of distress was very high at the moment!

[Shi-chan, help me! I need an umbrella!] The aunty made a half-crying face.

Shiro sweated by the side, as three black lines appeared on his head. The regal demeanor of his mom was totally gone now. As he was there the whole time during Hana's emergency treatment, he naturally knew that the 'cow dungs' were not feces at all. It was the little slave's specialty medicine, the All Cure Pellets. It was considered priceless as compared to the spirit pearls!

[Err, Mom. Stop it. That's just some medicine the fish made for you. You've used so much of them before too.] Shiro blushed heavily under all the white fur. He cleared his throat and pretended not to see anything. By the side, Chomper's mouth was agape as well. He was too shocked by the goddess' extreme reaction to the poison pellets. Nothing would've happened if these pellets touched the skin. They will only show reactions when being ingested.

What great sixth sense! Even the master herself was afraid of their Young Miss' poisonous pellets! However, he only thought about it and pretended not to see Hana's awkward dodging movements.

"These additional medicinal pellets were freshly made by our Young Miss for Your Grace. She had gone through a sleepless night for these. Please accept them, Your Grace. Just keep them well." Chomper added hastily. His charge was quite productive; she had made a whole bunch of pellets! Nearly thirty pieces of them! He wondered how much resources had been poured into these useless things. He could only sigh deeply inside.

Before Hana could say anything, Chomper continued, "The payment of the Young Miss' debt has been transferred to the clan. From here onward, the clan will be responsible for repaying whatever the Young Miss had partaken and will partake in the future. Please check the second level of Pillage Void Shell. Simply tap the gem twice with your spiritual energy." Chomper spoke seriously and had repeated what the Grand Elder had spoken to him previously.

Hana was making a weird expression this time. It was pretty suspicious! Nonetheless, she walked over to the tiny shell immersed within the pearls interspersed with some medicinal pellets and followed through with Chomper's instruction to tap the gem twice with her minuscule soul power. Immediately, she placed the shell on the scattered pearls again to avoid being bombarded with whatever things that might come out.

Nothing happened for two seconds as the trio in the cave anticipated it.

Suddenly, the shell emitted a white light, floated, and spewed forth a fountain of pearls!

...

Kuro was a little tired. He had slithered everywhere to find a suitable gift for Mommy. He knew that Mommy was already tired of eating seafood every day, but he still hesitated to bring the brown bird along. He had dropped by to check and found that the bird nearly starve to death! The eggs were long gone. As he was too busy protecting his mommy, he hadn't dropped by for many days already. Hence, he quickly went to the fish trap, selected a lot of fishes, and threw them into the natural 'cage' from the burnt opened tree trunk on top. The bird was so startled and looked like it had met God, as it voraciously ate the fishes without regard. He then took a lot more fishes and threw them in to fatten it up further. It'll be ready in a week or two.

Kuro then selected a few green coconuts for everyone at home. He was already late by ten minutes from his promised time.

As he slithered towards the cave entrance, the green coconut bunches dropped from his mouth as his eyes were wide open to the ridiculous occurrence inside their house!

His mommy was making a funny exasperated look as she was covering her head with her hands while being submerged by a sea of pearls! It was raining pearls! Their whole cave was filled to the brim with pearls five-inch deep.

Kuro blanked for a second. He knew that that girl slave they con was going to pay them with pearls, but why so exaggerated? Are they flaunting their wealth? Or are the fishes in this area didn't know their maths?!
